COF Ideas

Playing the bad guy.

I've seen many good guy COF's but has anyone come up with a COF with you being the bad guy?

COF Question (Looong shots)

feeds@yuku.com (Steve Koski) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:19:49 GMT

I've designed a stage based on Andy Brown's taking down an active shooter

http://proarms.podbean.com/ Scroll down to Andy Brown, or http://proarms.podbean.com/mf/web/5ipxy7/033.mp3

The shooter starts straddling a bike. At the buzzer they dismount, drop the bike, and fire at least 4 shots (like Andy did) at a single IDPA...

Rotator Cuff

feeds@yuku.com (Steve Koski) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:09:58 GMT

I'm thinking of doing a local match stage that has the shooter in a weak arm sling. So all firing would be strong hand only, and one reload would be required (probably a 12 round stage). The bottom feeders can do the mag change fairly easy holstering the gun, inserting new mag with strong hand, etc.

Questions:
1) What about the wheelgunners? How difficult is a one hand only reload? Is it possible without tossing the gun on the ground? Do you stick the gun (open...

Stage designing machine

feeds@yuku.com (FieldShunt) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:21:32 GMT

There's a lot of ways to plot out stages in the course of designing them, and we modernes tend to think in terms of computers as the go-to tool. But even the best of the CAD systems are still pretty two-dimensional, and pretty slow, too.
Here's what works for me:
All of the parts are on the 1:12 scale, meaning an eight-inch piece equals eight feet of real-life course. That way it's easy to plot out such things as minimum distance to steel and to actually eyeball sight...

Starting from the tacticallly grounded keister position

feeds@yuku.com (Ben Bock) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:51:29 GMT

I want to make a stage where the scenario is that you get knocked on your butt (or maybe shot) by a nastie with a weapon. Start position seated on ground, weak hand covering head, on signal draw and engage T1 with 6 rounds strong hand only. I was thinking maybe 3 strings, with Str 2 start position as seated on ground on top of strong hand, with gun on ground on strong side. On signal, retrieve gun with weak hand and engage T2 with 6. Str 3 is seated and holstered, engage PP1 to...

Dummy Rounds?

Long ago I remember shooting some IDPA stages with dummy rounds. Got any suggestions?

Good Course Design

feeds@yuku.com (Robert Carr) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 17:05:57 GMT

We have been told since the inception of this sport that whatever is wrong with IDPA could be corrected through the application of "Good Course Design". There are some of us that wouldn't recognize GCD if it ran over us with a truck. Has anyone, ever, written a primer on what constitutes GCD? Beyond Appendix 5 of the Rule Book?

(Just trying to stimulate a discussion on this cold, wintry day.)

Has anyone seen this before?

feeds@yuku.com (LJH) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:30:56 GMT

I am toying with the idea of a stage for next years Tri State. In the middle of the stage is a pressure pad that will activate a Max Trap. The Max trap is a NT. The NT will disapear briefly (couple seconds), reveal a popper that will activte a swinger. The shooter has time for one well placed shot at the popper . If missed, it is a total of 15 down (popper and swinger). It will not be a FTN since one has disappeared, and one has never appeared. It is tempting if the popper is missed,...

Creative Starting Positions

feeds@yuku.com (Steve Koski) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:20:17 GMT

A few I have seen:

Bag over head
Bag over head, hands zip tied behind head
Sitting, standing (BORING)
Kneeling "up"
Kneeling with elbows and palms on ground
Sitting on riding mower, holstered
Sitting on back of Kubota
Shooter at position A, gun and/or mags at position B
Seated in car
Hands in trunk of car

What other start positions have you...

Activating swinger

feeds@yuku.com (tglee) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:38:25 GMT

I have reset swingers more times then I can count, but I can't remember how to attach them to a popper. I need to it to be activated when the popper falls. Can someone describe or post a picture of the best way to do this.

Thanks,
Mike

Prop Idea

feeds@yuku.com (drizzico) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:15:47 GMT

This probably should go in the stats shack forum, but I couldn't resist putting this here...

Check out this mod of an airsoft gun:

Can't you just imagine the scenarios someone could write if they had a really warped sense of humor like me.

But has it was pointed out in the The Gun Zone forum...

Portable Props...Doorway?

feeds@yuku.com (G30KAJ) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:22:33 GMT

Our club shoots at 2 different ranges during the year and we transport props between them. It limits us to props that fit into a car or 2 or a pickup if we get lucky. Any ideas on designing a portable doorway prop?

Any other designs or ideas for easily transportable props? I've cut cardboard and corrugated plastic for car front/sides etc.

Popper in front of no shoot

feeds@yuku.com (freeidaho) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 09:09:20 GMT

Morning,
Just got done watching the sun come up a bit ago. It is a beautiful day.

But my pain meds must be messing with my memory. Is a popper directly in front of a no shoot considered good or bad COF design?

Thanks in advance for your help!

ATM Scenario

feeds@yuku.com (SteveA00151) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:26:42 GMT

I always loved doing the ATM scenario.

You know,the one where you face a mock ATM,and
when the shooter-ready-get set -BEEB , happens
You turn(180 degrees) towords,two bad guy targets,that was behind you,and engage both,with at least two hits each,
in the kill zone.

That's a fun course of fire to practice.

What do you guys think????

Question on COF idea......

feeds@yuku.com (AggieMM) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:37:49 GMT

I have an idea for a COF, but have a question. I'm trying to give an option to the shooter, but I'm trying to make it "fair" to both left and right handed shooters.

COF: At start, engage T1-T3 from P1, them move to either P2 or P3. From cover, engage T4-T7 in tactical priority (slice-de-pie).
